It's helpful for top of marketing funnel writing that we can sometimes lose sight of because we are so ingrained in the product day to day. Contently is also helpful for long written pieces and ebooks that will take a significant amount of employee time to put together.I avoid using Contently for mid to bottom funnel marketing writing because my team will often have greater insight into the product function or use-case or product release, making them more adroit to the tone of the written piece and able to produce the content quickly.

It's a great tool, period. I'd recommend it to anyone who was going to take the time to utilize its varied resources. I wouldn't recommend it for an old-school agency that's not really tech savvy but for anyone looking to grow a book of business, it's an invaluable tool.

- I love the Prep for a Meeting module. No matter the type of meeting you are prepping for, they have great resources to help you get the yes.
- The employee education pieces are an awesome way to prepare employees for new benefit options like HSAs and HRAs.
- The Compliance Roadmap is an excellent tool and is hugely appreciated by my small and middle market clients without full HR suites.

Cons
Contently
- I have been using it for 3.5 years, and have had no response from potential clients.
- The portfolio section is pretty easy to use, but I don't love the format.
- Since I'm not a client, I don't know just how easy it is for them to find new freelancers or how often it is actually used.
- Probably more suited for some types/concentrations of freelance writers, like finance, tech, or healthcare.

- It's pretty darn good and it's my fault that I don't use it as much as I should. I'd love for it somehow to integrate more into my routine but I'm not sure what Zywave could do on their end about that.

I'm giving them a 10, but honestly, I've never reached out to them. I do see them putting out regular content on social media, so they might be responsive to questions there as well as regular customer support. In their posts and communication, they do seem to value their community, so hopefully, they have good customer support. And I've seen them asking for pitches from their community to publish well-paid articles during this stressful coronavirus time, and I really appreciate that.

Contently's sweet spot is their network of writers. I have tried a few other platforms but saw much lower writing quality. The tool is handy, especially if you produce multiple pieces of content every week
